describing the Self as different from ...

[Guest guest]

Beautiful clarity!

If this is known, there is nothing further to know.

There is no concern about what one knows

or doesn't know, or has forgotten, or will forget.

Thanks Ramana and Vicki ...

As the Self is existence and consciousness ,

what is the reason for describing it as different

from the existent and the non-existent ,

the sentient and the insentient ?

Although the Self is real , as it comprises everything ,

it does not give room for questions involving duality

about its reality or unreality. Therefore it is said

to be different from the real and the unreal.

Similarly , even though it is consciousness ,

since there is nothing for it to know or to make itself

known to , it is said to be different from the sentient

and the insentient.
